IMLC at a glance: strengths and things to watch

πŸ‘ Strengths

  • Nothing stands out against its category.

⚠️ Things to watch

  • Higher fee. At 0.99% a year it costs more than 93% of Australian shares ETFs (median 0.35%), or about $64 a year more on every $10,000.
  • Small fund. With $1.0m under management, it is more at risk of being closed or merged than larger funds, and trading can be thinner.
  • Behind its peers. +4.0% a year over 3 years, against +10.1% for the median Australian shares ETF.
  • Wider trading spread. 0.52% between the buy and sell price. Use a limit order.

Base since 14 Oct 2026

IMLC is in a base. Here's why that matters.

IMLC's moving averages are tangled and the price is moving sideways. The trend hasn't picked a direction yet. Its price is 9.5% below its 12-month high.

Why it matters: Bases are where the next big move starts. A breakout can begin a new uptrend, while a breakdown can start a long fall. Buying a satellite before the breakout often means waiting months for nothing to happen.

At ETF Adviser the core of a portfolio stays invested through every stage, and satellite ETFs are only bought in an uptrend. Members get a weekly update on which ETFs are breaking out of a base and which trends have broken.
